But i thought all mortgage brokers earnt soo much they all had whatever they wanted! :rolleyes:I am a fee charging WoM Mortgage broker.I now no longer give information and opinion within the Mortgage boards, because a number of posters who, having approached me professionally, agreed my fee-which has been been made very clear at the outset, taken my advice (normally cancelling a [home visit] meeting at short notice) have then approached one of the fee-free brokers on here to arrange the very same deal I have advised.Whilst I totally concur with the ethos of "money saving"- abusing the goodwill of a professional who provides a quality service is taking it too far! :mad:0 -

How's the parking as well, or is it just anywhere in the field?

well last week when my tyres were being done in the megan i took it to asda . you know those trolly parks in the middle of where the car parking spaces are? Well I tried to squeeze it into a small space between the trolley park and another car. drove it in alright then realised i couldn't open drivers door to get out. started to reverse out and must have oversteered or something, heard this crunching noise, and when I got out the side was all dented in (from the metal post which is part of the structure of trolley shelter). I had to tell hubby someone had hit me and not left a note. He said whats hit it a 747 or something......
Thats why I drive a megane, small and easy to park. I've only been driving a year and although I've never hit another vehicle. I've reverse into car park railings, a brick wall, and caught my front bumper on someones tow bar when doing a 3PT last week....and you should see the state of my wheel trims!I am a Mortgage Adviser
